Description

This watercolour painting is like a snapshot rural life in England in the early 1800s. The painting is not small measuring approx 32.5cm in height by 28cm in width and has been painted by an Amateur hand, so one cannot say the execution is fine but it is totally charming. I would imagine the painting would date to the early 1800s circa 1830 portraying a family group of a mother with her baby in her arms and her three older children sitting outside their cottage. The children are spellbound by the little kitten standing next to a bowl in for the foreground. The scene is clearly rural as we see trees and greenery in the distance although there is another cottage in the near distance, outside which it can just be made out two figures. And although the details are sparse there are a few that really hold ones attention like the wonderful large bird cage hanging near the long thin lead panelled window above the mother's head through which we can see a large bottle within. And besides the mother there is a small table from which a book has fallen as well as what looks like ball of wool. The painting sits in a much later white card mount and frame, although both have some age to them. On the back of the frame a new board appears to have been attached from which a section from the old backing has been attached with the verso 'The Kitten' Original early 19th Century Watercolour Painting.

AGE - Circa 1830
*
CONDITION - The painting is in very good condition with the colours still strong and no foxing that I can see. The white mount shows some dirt at the bottom which can best be seen in the sixth photo. The thin wooden frame was at some point in its life painted with gold coloured painted but this has largely rubbed off now which I have to say I find more attractive. As I have mentioned a new backing has been put on but I do not think this has been done professionally although it does appear to be very stable.
